CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

The present invention claims priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0064682, filed on Jun. 30, 2011 which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an electromagnetic field generation technique, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for generating an analysis algorithm of an electromagnetic field generator which generate the analysis algorithm used in a structure analysis and design with respect to a tapered section of a TEM (Transverse Electromagnetic) cell and a GTEM (Giga hertz Transverse Electromagnetic) cell, wherein the TEM cell and the GTEM cell are used as an electromagnetic field generator in an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) field.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Recently, with the rapid development of electronic/electrical and information techniques, a diversity of electronic devices is being produced, and therefore, we live in an environment of an electromagnetic wave noise where the various electronic devices generate a considerable amount of electromagnetic waves.

The electromagnetic waves emitted from those electronic devices may not only cause a physical disorder in a human body but also affect with each other which results in a malfunction or a breakdown of the electronic devices.

In order to solve these problems, there are attempts to suppress an emission of unnecessary electromagnetic waves to be equal to or less than a specific regulation value, and a study on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is actively going on to enhance a tolerance of the electronic devices against electromagnetic waves, whereby the electronic devices can normally operate without any interference in the electromagnetic wave environment in which the electromagnetic waves are regulated to a specific regulation value.

As a measurement tool for the EMC study, electromagnetic field generators in various forms, such as a TEM cell and a GTEM cell respectively shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, are utilized. The tapered section of the TEM cell or GTEM cell is structured in a rectangular pyramid and has a septum therein, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B.

FIG. 2 presents a structure of a tapered section of a TEM cell or a GTEM cell in which a septum is provided at an arbitrary position.

Referring to FIG. 2, since the tapered section of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell has the septum in a rectangular pyramid structure thereof, the tapered section of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell may generate a plane wave between the septum and an external conductor. In a case of a TEM cell or a GTEM cell having an asymmetric structure, the position of an internal electrode is switched from a center of the cell to a top end or a bottom end of the cell.

In this case, uniformity of an electromagnetic wave becomes deteriorated in comparison with a symmetric structure; however a uniform area of an electromagnetic wave, in which a target to be tested is positioned, becomes wider. Therefore, the TEM cell or the GTEM cell of the asymmetric structure may have a high useable frequency bandwidth, which is strength of the asymmetric structure. Analysis methods with respect to TEM mode and higher order mode cutoff frequencies in the GTEM cell or the TEM cell are being studied.

In the analysis method for the above-described electromagnetic field generator according to the prior art, although the variety of the analysis methods with respect to the TEM mode and higher order mode cutoff frequencies in the GTEM cell or the TEM cell is on studying, the conventional analysis method including a numerical analysis involves a great amount of calculations which results in degrading a calculation speed and a calculation correctness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above, the present invention provides an apparatus and a method for generating an analysis algorithm of an electromagnetic field generator, wherein the analysis algorithm is used in a structure analysis and design for a tapered section of a TEM cell and a GTEM cell which are used as the electromagnetic field generator in an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) field.

The present invention further provides the apparatus and the method for generating the analysis algorithm of the electromagnetic field generator, wherein the analysis algorithm is used in the structure analysis and design with respect to a cross sectional structure of a TEM cell and GTEM cell which have a septum at an arbitrary position thereof by using a mode-matching technique.

The present invention further provides the apparatus and the method for generating the analysis algorithm of the electromagnetic field generator, wherein the algorithm is used in analyzing a TEM mode distribution in a cross sectional structure of a GTEM cell or a tapered section of a TEM cell, the cell being used as an electromagnetic field generator, by using an associated Legendre function and a mode-matching method and used for designing the structure of the TEM cell or GTEM cell based on the analysis result.

In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an analysis algorithm generation apparatus of an electromagnetic field generator including: a value inputting unit for receiving information on a TEM cell or GTEM cell; and an algorithm generating unit for generating an algorithm to analyze a TEM mode in a cross sectional structure of the GTEM cell or a tapered section of the TEM cell by using an associated Legendre function and a mode-matching method based on the information transmitted from the value inputting unit.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an analysis algorithm generation method of an electromagnetic field generator. The method includes: receiving information on a TEM cell or GTEM cell; and generating an algorithm to analyze a TEM mode in a cross sectional structure of the GTEM cell or a tapered section of the TEM cell by using an associated Legendre function and a mode-matching method based on the received information.

In accordance with the aspects of the present invention, the analysis algorithm generation apparatus and method for the electromagnetic field generator generates the algorithm for analyzing the TEM mode distribution within a cell of the cross sectional structure of the tapered structure of TEM cell or GTEM cell as the electromagnetic field generator by using the associated Legendre function and a mode-matching technique, and for designing a structure of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell. The analysis result obtained by the algorithm is a precise analytical solution and provides a rapid convergence and effective numerical calculations.

Further, since the analysis result provides a shortened analysis time as well as the precise analysis and design in comparison with the result of the conventional numerical analysis, it can be effectively applicable to a design and a performance analysis of the tapered section of the TEM cell or GTEM cell.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof.

FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram of an algorithm generation apparatus 300 performing TEM mode analysis with respect to a cross sectional structure of an electromagnetic field generator in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the algorithm generation apparatus 300 analyzes the TEM mode distribution based on information on a TEM cell or a GTEM cell and generates an algorithm used in analyzing and designing the structure of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell based on the analysis result. The algorithm generation apparatus 300 may be algorithm generation software or one of computing devices installed with the algorithm generation software.

The algorithm generation apparatus 300 includes a value input unit 302, a value setting unit 304, a TEM mode analysis unit 306 and the like.

Specifically, the value input unit 302 receives numerical values with respect to a TEM cell or a GTEM cell, i.e., receives information on the cross sectional structure of a tapered section of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell. The information has, e.g., a width and a height of the structure of each cell, a width and a thickness of a septum provided within each cell and information whether the septum is symmetric or asymmetric.

The value setting unit 304 sets input values as well as necessary values or defined conditions by reflecting previously set numerical values or user-set numerical values.

For example, it is assumed that each of regions divided with respect to the septum in the TEM cell or the GTEM cell is formed with an air of which wave number is k (=ω√{square root over (μ₀ε₀)}) and permittivity, permeability, coefficients, weight and the like in free space are set.

The TEM mode analysis unit 306 as an algorithm generation unit receives the information on the TEM cell or the GTEM cell from the value input unit 302 and the set numerical values from the value setting unit 304. Based on the information and numerical values received from the value input unit 302 and value setting unit 304, the TEM mode analysis unit 306 performs TEM mode analysis on the structure of the TEM cell or GTEM cell, i.e., the cross sectional structure of the electromagnetic field generator.

In detail, the TEM mode analysis unit 306 analyzes the TEM mode distribution within the cell by using the associated Legendre function and mode-matching method and generates an algorithm for designing a structure of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell based on the analysis result.

Then, the TEM mode analysis unit 306 transmits the generated algorithm to a cell design and performance analysis (CDPA) unit 350. The CDPA unit 350 analyzes and designs the structure of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell by using the received algorithm.

Even though the algorithm generation apparatus 300 and the CDPA unit 350 are separately presented in FIG. 3, they may be configured as one functional block in a system.

Hereinafter, an algorithm generating method in the TEM mode analysis unit 306 will be described in detail.

FIG. 4 shows a cross sectional view of a structure of a GTEM cell for GTEM cell analysis in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 4, the GTEM cell has a width of |φ₂+φ₁| and a height of |α₂−α₁|, and angles of φ and θ directions are assumed to be constant. In the GTEM cell, a septum, of which width and thickness are |l₂+l₁| and |α_d−α₀|, respectively, is provided in an arbitrary position therein. Therefore, any case of a septum which is symmetric or asymmetric can be analyzed.

Further, the cross sectional structure of the tapered section of the TEM cell or the GTEM cell may be divided into four regions (I, II, III, and IV) to be analyzed. It is assumed that each of the regions is formed with an air of which wave number is k (=ω√{square root over (μ₀ε₀)}) and traveling waves propagate in r(200) direction in the spherical coordinates system (r, θ, φ) in FIG. 2. With this, the TEM mode analysis can be performed on a cross sectional structure having a constant r of the electromagnetic field generator.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the permittivity ε₀ and permeability μ₀ in the free space are described while their subscripts are omitted.

TEM waves are assumed to travel in a direction from an origin of coordination to the outside, i.e., in the r(200) direction in the coordinates system in FIG. 2. Each of the regions (I, II, III, and IV) can be expressed with an electrostatic potential Φ in detail by using Laplace's equation. The septum has a potential V₀, and the outer conductor is at zero potential.

The electrostatic potential in region I is written as an equation 1.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^I=\sum _{p=1}^{\infty }A_pR_p\left(\cos \theta \right)\sin \left[a_p\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)\right]\mathrm{Herein},a_p=p\pi /\left({\varphi }_2+{\varphi }_1\right),R_p\left(\cos \theta \right)=Q_0^{a_p}\left(\cos {\alpha }_1\right)P_0^{a_p}\left(\cos \theta \right)-P_0^{a_p}\left(\cos {\alpha }_1\right)Q_0^{a_p}\left(\cos \theta \right).& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.1\right]\end{array}$

Further, P₀^αp (COS θ) and Q₀^αp (COS θ) present first and second kinds of the associated Legendre function, respectively.

The electrostatic potential in region II is written as an equation 2.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{II}}=\sum _{s=1}^{\infty }\sin \left[b_s\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)\right]\left[B_sP_0^{b_s}\left(\cos \theta \right)+C_sQ_0^{b_s}\left(\cos \theta \right)\right]+\frac{V_0\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)}{{\varphi }_1-l_1}& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.2\right]\end{array}$

Herein, b_s=sπ/(φ₁−l₁).

The electrostatic potential in region III is expressed as equation 3.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{III}}=\sum _{r=1}^{\infty }\left[D_rP_0^{c_r}\left(\cos \theta \right)+E_rQ_0^{c_r}\left(\cos \theta \right)\right]\sin \left[c_r\left(\phi -l_2\right)\right]-\frac{V_0\left(\phi -{\varphi }_2\right)}{{\varphi }_2-l_2}\mathrm{Herein},c_r=r\pi /\left({\varphi }_2-l_2\right).& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.3\right]\end{array}$

The electrostatic potential in region IV is written as equation 4.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{IV}}=\sum _{p=1}^{\infty }F_pT_p\left(\cos \theta \right)\sin \left[a_p\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)\right]\mathrm{Herein}\text{,}T_p\left(\cos \theta \right)=Q_0^{a_p}\left(\cos {\alpha }_2\right)P_0^{a_p}\left(\cos \theta \right)-P_0^{a_p}\left(\cos {\alpha }_2\right)Q_0^{a_p}\left(\cos \theta \right).& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.4\right]\end{array}$

Then, electrostatic potentials of the four regions are expressed by using unknown modal coefficients A_p, B_s, C_s, D_r, E_r, and F_P.

The unknown modal coefficients are used to derive six simultaneous equations by applying a Dirichlet boundary condition and a Neumann boundary condition at θ=α₀ and θ=α_d (boundary surfaces of the septum with the I and the IV regions).

First, equation 5 presents a case where the Dirichlet boundary condition is applied among region I and regions II and III.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^I\left({\alpha }_d\right)=\{\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{II}}\left({\alpha }_d\right)& -{\varphi }_1\le \phi <-l_1\\ V_0& -l_1\le \phi \le l_2\\ {\Phi }^{\mathrm{III}}\left({\alpha }_d\right)& l_2<\phi \le {\varphi }_2\end{array}& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.5\right]\end{array}$

When equations 1 to 3 and θ=α_d are applied to equation 5, equation 6 is obtained as shown below.

$\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{c}\sum _{p=1}^{\infty }A_pR_p\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)\sin \left[a_p\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)\right]=\sum _{s=1}^{\infty }\sin \left[b_s\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)\right]\left[B_sP_0^{b_s}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)+C_sQ_0^{b_s}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)\right]+\frac{V_0\left(\phi +{\varphi }_1\right)}{{\varphi }_1-l_1}\\ -{\varphi }_1\le \phi <-l_1\\ =V_0-l_1\le \phi \le l_2\\ =\sum _{r=1}^{\infty }\left[D_rP_0^{c_r}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)+E_rQ_0^{c_r}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)\right]\sin \left[c_r\left(\phi -l_2\right)\right]-\frac{V_0\left(\phi -{\varphi }_2\right)}{{\varphi }_2-l_2}\\ l_2<\phi \le {\varphi }_2\end{array}& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.6\right]\end{array}$

Then, equation 7 is obtained by multiplying equation 6 by sin [a_q(φ+φ₁)] (q=1, 2, 3, . . . ), and integrating the multiplication result with respect to φ between −φ₁ and φ₂ (−φ₁<φ<φ₂) for utilizing the orthogonality.

By calculating equation 7, equation 8 is obtained.

$\begin{array}{cc}\sum _{p=1}^{\infty }A_pR_p\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)\left(\frac{{\varphi }_2+{\varphi }_1}{2}\right){\delta }_{\mathrm{pq}}=\sum _{s=1}^{\infty }\left[B_sP_0^{b_s}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)+C_sQ_0^{b_s}\left(\cos {\alpha }_d\right)\right]G_{\mathrm{sq}}\left(-{\varphi }_1,-l_1,b_s,a_q\right)& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.8\right]\end{array}$

Equation 9 presents a case where the Dirichlet boundary condition is applied among region IV and regions II and III.

$\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{IV}}\left({\alpha }_0\right)=\{\begin{array}{cc}{\Phi }^{\mathrm{II}}\left({\alpha }_0\right)& -{\varphi }_1\le \phi <-l_1\\ V_0& -l_1\le \phi \le l_2\\ {\Phi }^{\mathrm{III}}\left({\alpha }_0\right)& l_2<\phi \le {\varphi }_2\end{array}& \left[\mathrm{Eq}.9\right]\end{array}$

When equations 2 to 4 and θ=α₀ are applied to equation 9, equation 10 is obtained as described below.

The unknown modal coefficients are obtained by using the matrix equation of equation 22, whereby distribution of equipotential line in the GTEM cell is obtained depending on each mode.

Moreover, in order to check the accuracy of the generated algorithm (including the equations), calculations in which k is assumed to be ω√{square root over (μ₀ε₀)} are performed. For example, the TEM mode may be written as a program based on the above-described theory using mathematic theory of matrix or the like.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the calculations are made on the structure of the GTEM cell in which septum is provided at an asymmetric position. Herein, both cases of a thin thickness and a relatively thicker thickness of the septum are considered in the calculations. In the case of the thin thickness of the septum, the structure of the GTEM cell is set for the calculations as follows: α₀=90°; α₁=78°; α₂=96°; α_d=89.7°; φ₁=φ₂=15°; l₁=l₂=9.75°; and V₀=1. In the case of the thick thickness of the septum, the thickness of the septum is set as α_d=87° and the other conditions of the structure are identical to those of the former.

The number of the modes used is ten for regions I and IV and two for regions II and III.

Table 1 shows values of |A_pR_p(cos θ)| in the TEM mode (α_d=89.7°, θ=85°) and it is seen that the values of |A_pR_p(cos θ)| rapidly converge.

FIGS. 5A to 5B depict the distribution of the equipotential lines and E-field distribution which is presented with arrows at a cross section φ−θ where r is constant, in a case of α_d=89.7°, and FIGS. 6A and 6B present the same in a case of α_d=87°.

By referring to FIGS. 5A to 6B, the distribution of the equipotential lines depending on the thickness of the septum is observed, whereby the distribution of the E-field depending on the thickness of the septum can be clearly confirmed.
